Pokéblocks are interesting little morsels
that, when consumed, can help your Pokémon a lot in Contests. Without
these, it would be tough winning contests! With that said,
let's begin on our quest to understand all there is to know about Pokéblocks!

To make it easier to navigate, quick links are provided below.
Click on them to skip sections.

First of all, what does a Pokéblock really do? Well, it increases the stats
of a Pokémon in the five contest areas: Cool,
Beauty, Tough, Smart, and Cute. By eating a Pokéblock, a
Pokémon will become more likely to win in one or more of these areas in a
contest, since it has enhanced abilities due to eating Pokéblocks.

The basic ingredient of a Pokéblock is a berry, which can be
found around the worlds of Pokémon. (You can find more information on berries can be
found here). By using different berries
or combination of berries, the strength of a Pokéblock can vary. The
rarer the berry, the stronger the Pokéblock, and the stronger the Pokéblock, the better the effect. To learn how to create a
Pokéblock, please continue reading.

Pokéblocks are only found in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Making
them is quite simple, but making a good one takes a lot of skill and
coordination.

First of all, you need to get a Pokéblock Case. For Pokémon Ruby and
Sapphire, it can be found at the Contest Hall in Slateport City by
talking to the little girl on the left. In Pokémon Emerald, it can be
found by talking to the lady behind the counter at the Lilycove City
Contest Hall.

As mentioned before, you also need
many berries. These berries will be mixed together in machines found in
the Contest Halls.

Contest Halls are found in Slateport City, Verdanturf Town, Fallarbor
Town, and Lilycove City. (In Emerald it is only found in Lilycove City).
To make the best kind of Pokéblocks, I recommend you go to the Contest
Hall in Lilycove City, because the more people there are making Pokéblocks
together, the better the Pokéblock will be.

Inside the Contest Hall, go towards the right of the building where
there is a machine with an old man next to it. Go to a side of the
machine where there is an empty space to stand. If
you press A when facing the machine , the old man will ask if you want to
make Pokéblocks. Select Yes and for the next question, choose Yes or No
depending on if you know how to make a Pokéblock.

Now, you must select a berry. The Pokéblock formed depends on the berry
you select, therefore, you should consult this berry
list before you start mixing! In general, the higher the number
of the berry (ex. 01. Cheri versus 32. Pamtre), the better
the Pokéblock will be.

There will be a countdown, and then the game begins! When the spinning
arrow lines up with your pointer (at the top left), then you must press A
exactly when the two tips meet. The goal is to get as many
or hits as possible.
Of course, if you can get all
hits, then your Pokéblock will come out better. If you get any
hits, it will slow down the spinning of the machine; this makes the Pokéblock
worse, so try to avoid getting !

After you fill up the meter on the top, you will be done making a Pokéblock! A results list will show up, and you will have made your very
own Pokéblock! To access your stash of Pokéblocks, you can open the Key
Items menu to use it.

Now that you've made one, it's time to learn what a Pokéblock does. You
can find out more by reading the section below.

Different types of Pokéblock affect Pokémon differently. Note that your Pokémon
can only eat a limited number of Pokéblocks. To check whether or not your Pokémon is
full, use the PokéNav and select Condition.

You will see your Pokémon with stars around it. All Pokémon
start with one star above it (like the picture to the right).
The number of stars indicates about how much Pokéblocks your Pokémon
has eaten (it could be more or less). As the Pokémon ingests more Pokéblocks,
more stars will appear around it. Once the Pokémon has a maximum of 12
stars, it can no longer eat any more Pokéblocks.

To the right of the image with stars, there is a pentagon indicating the
Contest status of the Pokémon. It begins with a small green pentagon, but
as you feed more berries to your Pokémon, its Condition in one or more
areas will increase. One or more points of the green pentagon will begin
to point in the direction of one of five Contest areas.

Different-natured Pokémon prefer different flavors of Pokéblocks. To learn

The stats each Pokéblock affects is listed below.

To maximize the results when feeding a Pokémon, you
want to feed it the best Pokéblocks, since you are limited
in the amount you can feed.

If you go to the Pokéblock Case (in your PokéNav), you can check on
the Pokéblocks you have made. Each Pokéblock has a description,
including its flavors (spicy, dry, sweet, bitter, and sour), level, and
feel.

The flavor is important, as mentioned before, different naturedPokémon prefer different flavors. Sometimes, a Pokéblock has more
than one flavor, so that has to be taken into account. The level indicates
how strong the Pokéblock is; the higher the level, the better. Finally,
the feel indicates the smoothness of the Pokéblock. The lower the feel,
the less full your Pokémon is when fed (which means you can feed many
more Pokéblocks to your Pokémon). Feel is determined by how fast the
blender rotates, which is governed by how many
hits you make! So keep on practicing!
